Chapter Ninety-Six: The Fall of the Jin Merchants (5)
Fan Yongdou's death, the first time the secret pile in the Fan Mansion passed the news out, during the Jinyiwei troubles Fan Yongdou, the people of the East Factory were not idle, and the officials of Taiyuan Mansion, large and small, had already been secretly invited to the Dongchang stronghold where they were sitting under the command of Cao Huachun.

When these officials saw that Cao Huachun, the governor of the Dongchang factory, and other big people rushed to Taiyuan Mansion in person, many people began to speculate whether it was the incident of the Jin merchants collaborating with the enemy, and that Shanxi, a poor and remote place, could attract the attention of the Dongchang factory governor except for the rich and powerful sheep of the Jin merchants.
"Our family, don't say much, what have you people done by yourself, what collusion with the Jurchens, you know in your own hearts that now the military camp outside the city has been controlled by Lord Zhou Yuji, the new governor of Shanxi, sent by the emperor, and don't have some ideas that shouldn't be there" Jinyiwei's outrageously powerful intelligence ability in China can make Cao Huachun easily find out the roots of most of the officials here and everything they have done over the years.
There are countless hidden piles of Jinyiwei all over the country, some of them are beggars, farmers, merchants, soldiers, officials, as long as it is in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, there is nothing that Jinyiwei can't find, what is even more terrifying is that many of these hidden piles have been lurking for generations, and have been fully integrated into the role they play.
Even the henchmen of many of the officials present are the hidden piles that have been passed down by Jinyiwei for several generations, and they have not obtained the list of hidden piles that Jinyiwei is lurking in Daming, even Cao Huachun, the factory governor of the East Factory, can't imagine the strong intelligence ability of Jinyiwei, as big as the mansions of hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China, as small as the border towns, as long as there are people, there are Jinyiwei's strongholds. The most terrifying point of the Jinyiwei dark pile is that the son inherits the father's business, and the Jinyiwei dark pile will begin to train his children to become a new dark pile when his children are still children, and some important chess pieces will often lurk in one place for several generations in order to have a goal or may pose a threat to the empire.
"Xia Guan really doesn't know what his father-in-law said, whether his father-in-law has some misunderstanding" The first is the Taiyuan General Army, this guy was supposed to be stationed in the barracks in case of emergency, but now that the armament is in ruins, this unlucky general has not stepped into his barracks for many days.
"Pretend to be confused in front of our family, those filthy things between you and the Jin merchants, it doesn't matter if our family knows it or not, the key is that the emperor already knows, but the emperor is kind enough to let our family bring a word to you, if you are willing to cooperate with our family and Lord Zhou to exterminate the eight Jin merchants in one fell swoop, and leave half of the family property, when the time comes, a few adults will hand over a note to the old man to return to his hometown or resign due to illness, the ministry will naturally approve it, as long as you return to your hometown with peace of mind, the case of Jin Shang's treason naturally has nothing to do with you, if not, Then it is indispensable to accompany the group of businessmen on the guillotine, how to choose the adults to watch it yourself" A group of moths, if it is not still a little useful, you need to cooperate to completely eradicate that group of businessmen, just you spineless scholars, Dongchang Prison has a walk, and our family guarantees that the penal officers from the Fusi Division of Beizhen can clean up the little things in your head.
"Father-in-law Mingjian, Xiaguan really has nothing to do with that group of businessmen, it just so happens that Xiaguan has been feeling unwell recently, but Xiaguan is willing to drag the seriously ill body as a father-in-law and the emperor to get rid of those black sheep, after this incident, I hope that the father-in-law will understand, and the lower official will think about the township to recuperate when he is unwell, before this, the lower official still has some savings, and he is willing to donate all to the emperor, and dedicate a meager force to the emperor and the Ming Dynasty" There is no shortage of people who are sloppy and shoot horses among the hundreds of officials in the court, and the little old man in front of him wearing the official uniform of the county is smart, knows that such muddy waters are not flowing by themselves, and knows how to take the opportunity to retreat.
"Father-in-law Mingjian" someone immediately began with a group of people who followed to show their loyalty, but most of these people were some small officials or some deputies with little real power, originally these people couldn't share much benefit, but now that the incident happened, he was not the mastermind, and the emperor was willing to open the net, so he naturally borrowed the donkey from the slope to get out.
It's just that many officials in Shanxi don't plan to sit still, and there are many people who think that they can still turn the tables, this group of people is either a feudal official or a general soldier, so many years down this group of people has mastered the real power of the officials, has been completely corroded by the right, how can it be possible to give up the rights in their hands, to be the emperor of the soil for several generations, has not changed, for many years the court has also turned a blind eye, why should he put down his right to go back to his hometown to eat mud.
It's just that Cao Huachun, the old eunuch, is not the group of people in the Criminal Department, what else do they need to investigate, when does Dongchang need evidence, this group of local officials who are used to being the emperor have forgotten how to hide the resentment on their faces.
"Since someone dares to disagree with our family's decision, it's good, it seems that Dongchang has not made any big moves over the years, and many people have forgotten what Dongchang does, so don't leave today" Cao Huachun is not a good person, whether it is that eunuch, as long as he can climb to a position in the celebrant eunuch, then none of them are soft-hearted, and those soft-hearted people have long become stepping stones for others to climb.
Hearing Cao Huachun's tone, several of the generals immediately gathered together to protect several colleagues behind him. "What does this mean by my father-in-law" But before he finished speaking, suddenly a few flying claws stretched out in the distance, grabbed a few generals who intended to resist, and fought in a large-scale group on the battlefield, Jinyiwei is not the opponent of the regular army, but compared to fighting alone, skirmishes, sneak attacks and assassinations and other means, it is not comparable to ordinary people,
The veterans who fought on the battlefield did not dare to fight with the Jinyi Guards in the skirmish, not to mention a few wastes who were hollowed out by the wine, and several people were dragged to the ground by the flying claws before they could resist, and the rest of the Jinyi Guards with sharp blades immediately took the opportunity to step forward and split the bodies of several people. As for the remaining few civil officials, it was even more unbearable, a figure flashed, except for those officials who surrendered in advance, a blood line faintly appeared on the necks of the rest of the people, and with a "snort", the blood fountain spurted out, except for the officials who surrendered, no one else stood at the scene.
"A few of you go back and stabilize the eight merchants, the day of Fan Yongdou's funeral is the day when the eight merchant families are wiped out" Now the army is controlled by the emperor's new governor of Shanxi, Zhou Yuji, Taiyuan officialdom has completely fallen to Dongchang in addition to the dead, with the virtue of that group of officials, after going back, for their own lives, they will not only put aside the relationship with the eight merchants, but also frantically attack the group of merchants who originally bought themselves in order to show their loyalty.
